This is a reminder that at the very beginning, it was decided that we would refrain from political discussion.

While it comes up tangentially from time to time, please refrain from starting threads centering on actual politicians and their behavior.

I have deleted a thread about this very thing. No one is banned, no one is moderated. Just be aware that if you post something like that it will likely be deleted.

It's not that folks were being nasty with one another. It's not that folks cannot be trusted to handle political issues politely with one another.

It's simply that this is one of the few places that is going to remain free of political discussion.

Thank-you!

Bless you, Lady B! I belong to several Facebook groups that are supposed to be about science or something literary and there are people who just can't help but poison them with political &/or religious (or anti religious) proselytising, totally degenerating threads and even entire pages from intelligent discussion to childish name calling. It's nice to have a 'safe zone' where's that isn't acceptable. Have a wonderful remainder of the Holiday Season!
